Senior Consultant - Ex-MBB McKinsey BCG Bain

Toloka AI supports frontier model post-training by building domain-specific reinforcement learning environments, tasks, and evaluation frameworks designed by real practitioners.

Mindrift , powered by Toloka — a leading enterprise AI and machine learning data partner since 2014 — connects top domain experts with cutting-edge AI initiatives. Backed by Toloka’s deep expertise in scalable data generation, crowd technology, and applied ML systems, Mindrift enables experts to shape how next-generation generative models learn, reason, and perform.

We are launching a Management Consulting domain focused on translating real-world consulting engagements into structured learning environments for advanced AI systems. To do this credibly, we are assembling a team of strategy consultants from top-tier firms who can convert authentic project experience into end-to-end examples — from problem structuring and work planning to analysis, synthesis, and client-ready recommendations.

You will join a growing team of consultants from leading strategy firms shaping how AI learns high-level business reasoning.

Important: This role is exclusively for consultants with direct experience at a top-tier strategy consulting firm. If you do not have hands-on project experience at one of the firms listed below, please do not apply. This requirement ensures the domain is built by practitioners trained to the highest standards of structured problem-solving and client delivery.

Eligible firms: McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Company, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Monitor Deloitte (Deloitte S&C), EY-Parthenon, Kearney, and Strategy& (PwC).

Who We’re Looking For

Consultants with 3+ years of experience at one of the firms listed above, with hands-on project experience in:

• Structuring ambiguous client problems into workable analytical plans
• Building financial models, market analyses, or synthesized findings from messy inputs
• Producing client-ready deliverables under time pressure
• Forming and defending recommendations under uncertainty

No deep technical background is required — we will onboard you on the lightweight tools involved.

What You’ll Do

• Build realistic consulting project environments — create detailed project scenarios grounded in real engagement dynamics: industry context, financials, constraints, conflicting inputs, and incomplete information.
• Design structured consulting tasks for AI agents — break projects into discrete tasks that mirror real consulting work: market sizing, commercial due diligence, cost optimization, growth strategy, operational diagnosis, benchmarking, and more.
• Define evaluation criteria and quality standards — develop grading frameworks, evaluation rubrics, and golden-answer solutions for each task, used to train and calibrate an LLM-based grading system that evaluates AI
